The Eprom is the chip on the baldor control board inside the electrical cabinet.

Ok, So it is a Dos chip,


It would upgrade to VRMilling but you would have to contact Sales for a price.

Have you looked through other posts on the forum.

From memory you may need to run through dosbox if it is a fairly new Windows operating sytem.
